Wendy was absolutely amazing!Up beat, stylish, a vibe.Right on the downtown strip and easy to get to. The flavors are fresh, service prompt, food solid. What more could you ask for?I had an old fashioned (I know, not fitting for the cuisine but really well crafted) and chicken burrito bowl. So full of flavor and delish. Highly recommend!

You can't beat some of their weekday specials! The taco Tuesday special specifically - for the price ($5/taco), quality, and quantity of meat it is as good as it gets. Today I tried a smoked pork shoulder taco and a smoked brisket taco. The brisket was my favorite on my last visit but the pork might have it beat- there's significant heat from the black habanero but it perfectly brings out the flavor of the pork. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Perfect cozy spot to swing into on a weekday when Stillwater isn't as busy!

Stopped in Lolito for some appetizers with friends and they did not disappoint. Service was excellent & we were never left waiting. The roasted garlic guacamole is a must have! We also ordered the Elote Queso and salsa! All so delicious!

We absolutely loved Lolito! We stopped here with friends for a late lunch after a walk and was able to get patio seating straight away on a Sunday. It was the perfect place for phenomenal, delicious food and drinks on a summer day with friends! Casual and SO good!Our original server didn't seem to be in the best mood, missed one of drinks and then got all our bills wrong, however their shift ended and a new server took over who made every thing better! We really appreciated the new server who was attentive and very pleasant! We'd definitely come back!

I went to Lolito Cantina for my boyfriend's birthday last night. This was our second time trying it as we try to stay away from downtown Stillwater due to the parking nightmare. It was difficult to find parking, we circled the block about 4 times before finding a spot. Thankfully that was the only negative part of the night. We were instantly welcomed when we walked in and got to choose where we sat. The restaurant was pretty empty which makes no sense based on the quality of the food. Do yourself a favor and order an appetizer. We got guacamole to start and had to add an order of queso after trying the chips. I would walk across the state for those chips! SOOOOO YUMMY!! The burrito bowl was the perfect amount of food and the margarita was delicious! They use these fancy ice cubes so it's just a single piece of ice in the drink rather than a bunch of tiny pieces which was cool and so much fancier than I am used to. They sadly do not offer any deals for the birthday but the food was reasonably priced and the service was phenomenal. 100/10 across the board! Can't recommend this local business enough. Definitely my favorite Mexican restaurant in Stillwater.

I stopped into Lolito for a happy hour drink and some appetizers and it was great!Although this restaurant is on the smaller side, I was seated outside on their patio right away. The waitress was very attentive and brought water right away, which was great since it was a hot summer day!I ordered the happy hour Lolito margarita and it was delicious! Not too sweet, limey, and just the right amount of salt on the rim. I also ordered the classic guacamole and the mixed mushroom taco. Both were fantastic and I highly recommend the mushroom taco!!I can't wait to visit Lolito again so I can try more menu items!

Fantastic upscale cantina in downtown Stillwater!Had a great bartender and quick service when I stopped in for a solo dinner. Phenomenal homemade chips and a wide salsa selection. Kick butt griddled tacos and upscale sides. Plus a great cocktail menu. Hard to believe this only has 3.5 stars on Yelp. It's a must stop if you're looking for a fresh take on upscale Mexican

We sat in the bar area during a happy hour. Margaritas and guacamole were very good. We will go back again next time we are in Stillwater.

We came here on a Saturday around 3PM when the weather was beautiful and Stillwater was bustling. We had to wait a few minutes for our group of 4 to be seating, but it was faster than the original wait time we were quoted. We were seated and someone came by to took our drinks order. Our server was pretty cold (maybe it was just an off day), but we were able to get drinks. We ordered beer and spicy margaritas and they came as expected. A while later we got to order food. We ordered a small guac with chips and let me tell you...regardless of the guac size we got a TON of chips. Several of us ordered tacos, and since there was no mention of how many tacos came with an order (it is two), some members were still pretty hungry after. I would strongly recommend getting sides. My partner and I got an order of tacos and a burrito bowl to share, but I was bummed to see that the burrito bowl was lined with a flour tortilla (I am gluten-free for health reasons). Unfortunately, I was only able to eat the two tacos. However, the food was good and I'd be willing to give the place another try.
